AfC notification: Draft:Xtremepush has a new comment

Your submission at Articles for creation: Xtremepush (May 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lopifalko was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Xtremepush and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Xtremepush, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Xtremepush (September 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not seeing sufficient in-depth, independent coverage to meet the WP:NCORP criteria.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

September 2019

Hello Gerardadlum. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Xtremepush, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Gerardadlum. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Gerardadlum|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:51, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curb Safe Charmer. Thank you for bringing the paid contributor issue to my attention. My user profile has been amended.

Regarding this entry itself, I am unsure what you mean when you say there is not enough evidence of "independent" coverage. All articles cited are from independent media outlets.

The company was also recently named in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant, a significant recommendation from a global consultancy. Would this addition add sufficient weight to the entry?

The Venturebeat article is clearly based on a press release and is largely based on the company talking about itself - not independent. The Times article needed a subscription so I couldn't evaluate that one. The first Silcone Republic ref is a founder talking about the company - not independent. The Irish Examiner article has no author identified which is an indicator of an advertorial style piece. The second Silicon Republic article is a mere mention of the company - not in depth coverage. The businessworld.ie reference is a broken link. The techcentral reference is clearly a news release. The businesspost.ie reference requires a subscription but appears to be the company talking about itself. The third Silicon Republic ref is based on a news release by the company. The Temenos reference doesn't provide in depth coverage. The Finextra reference is a copy of the Temenos article. The business-times.co.uk article is based on a news release. Therefore none of the references meet the WP:NCORP criteria. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 13:39, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Xtremepush

Hello, Gerardadlum. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Xtremepush".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 22:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
